Naming in OHP

Naming is a key issue in any distributed system. In particular, with the Open Hypermedia Systems Working Group's efforts towards openness and interoperability in Open Hypermedia Systems (OHS) resulting in the need for (globally) valid names for all types of resources the issue of naming has become increasingly important. In this position paper we examine the issues involved in naming and a present a proposal for naming to be used within the Open Hypermedia Protocol (OHP).
